Amazon Prime Day is here and this year it lasts for two days, instead of one. This was done to give people a sense on what types of deals that are available and give them a chance to actually capitalize on them.
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 4
The latest generation Paperwhite 4 is waterproof and has a better front-lit display. You purchase audiobooks via Audible and listen to them via Bluetooth. Normally the 8GB version is $129 but is on sale for $84.00, which is a savings of $45.00. The 32GB variant is normally $159.00 and is on sale for $109.00, a discount of over $50.00.
Entry level Kindle
The new Kindle basic version now has a front-lit display and an E Ink Carta e-paper panel. This makes the new Kindle have a ton of value. The regular price is $109 and the Prime Day deal is $79.99, which is an overall savings of $30.00.
The Amazon Kindle Oasis 3 is currently on pre-order and will begin shipping out at the end of July. Amazon has heavily discounted the previous generation model. The 8GB version normally retails for $269 and it is on sale for $194.99, a savings of $75.00. The 32GB model is normally $299.99 and is on sale for $219, a savings of $80.00. This deal is solid if you have no intention on picking up the new Oasis with the color temperature system.
